Holiday Treats for Clients and Classmates

This venture started off in an attempt to place an order for chocolate covered strawberries and pretzel sticks for a client via a well known company. However, in addition to the cost of the goodies, the company charges $17 for delivery of the strawberries and another $15 to deliver the pretzel sticks, even though they are both going to the same place! I called said company, and asked if they could combine the delivery costs since they are originating in 1 place and terminating at 1 place. They refused. So, I canceled the order. Went to Michaels (Welton Candy Melts), Cost Plus World Market (trays, glasses, baggies, ribbon, cellophane), Ralphs (beautiful organic strawberries), and Smart & Final (Snyder's of Hanover Pretzel Rods)...then got to work.

I made 7 trays of goodies for clients, and personally delivered them. And made about 30 baggies of treats for my daughter's school (classmates, teachers, staff, supervisors, security, etc.)

Chocolate covered organic strawberries with various colored candy melts (red, green, chocolate, white), some with crushed walnuts, some with crushed candy cane bits, and some with shards of fresh chocolate.

Chocolate covered Oreo cookies with with various colored candy melts (red, green, chocolate, white), some with crushed walnuts, some with crystal sugar, some with crushed candy cane bits.

About Me

My name is Deb. I am Interior Designer, Art Director, Production Designer and Film/Tv Producer. I juggle all my roles while being mom to an amazing little girl! And while she is amazing, she can be a very picky eater! So I started shaping her food into fun characters…and all my friends started calling me CRAZY! Haha! So what better name than Crazy Mama?
I have since found some truly AMAZING food artists online…and I am so impressed with their work!
I don't shop for ingredients to make Food Art…I simply use whatever organic ingredients I have in my pantry…which is often limiting. Sometimes the designs turn out really great, other times…not so much! But I have fun with my little cutie in the process! I hope you enjoy seeing them! And if you have a request- send it in!!!
